I'm thinking of future well disasters. I think it is folly to depend

Maybe some sort of industry consortium to study effective ways to combat

This should never have happened. BP was stepping over dollars to pick up
nickels. Spank them hard, and send a message.

I certainly agree. I don't think this should be a gov't effort. It just
needs _good_ gov't oversight.
